I have been here every single day since I was made a moderator, even when I was going through some very hard times at home.

I am extremely tired. Very worn out. I do not feel I am currently in a position to deal with the demands of this role whilst I am so worn out.

I need a break. I will therefore be unavailable as a moderator for the next 7 days.

After I will return stronger, and in a better frame of mind.

You will still see me around on GM, but I will not be using my moderator account. I will not be dealing with any complaints, or any instances of bad behaviour on GM even if I witness it. I will be officially on a holiday.

I am not leaving you all. I am just taking a short break to come back stronger and more able to meet players and moderators needs when I am mentally less drained.

I apologise to anyone I maybe have offended by losing my temper here on the forum.

It is entirely up to other moderators what they wish to do whilst I am officially on a break.

i had to leave this game for over a year and i wasnt even a moderator. trace, i said it before, u donate a whole lot of time to this game and the ppl who play it, i cant imagine doing it myself. truth is i wouldnt even attempt it. for my part, i stick to 2p games to avoid giving u a headache, no possible way to cheat there.

anyhow have a great break, i may recommend not even playing as a player for a while. even when i quit for the weekend, last weekend, i was more calm and clear headed when i came back.

Enjoy your break!

Remember that only a small percentage of people who appreciate something will ever take the time to make that fact known whereas a very large percentage of the people who are upset over something are very likely to make that fact known.

With everything in life comes a negative.

We cannot expect to achieve 100% satisfaction in anything, some people are going to hate something just because others like it.

Know that the great majority of people here respect you and are very grateful for your hard work.
